Unlike many people, I actually look forward to a rainy day now and then. The reason is that I love to wear my Burberry trench and Hunter wellies. These two items of clothing were created to endure the most blustery of days and have stood the test of time against the elements. I figured these classics can withstand the rainy season in the Scottish Highlands then they would be durable for rainy days in California. I love the element of utility for these staples of my wardrobe. Because looking arriving well dressed is and prepared is half the battle of any occasion.

Yes, the trench is a wardrobe essential everyone should own. But if you’re looking for something more extravagant check out these luxe, quirky, studded shiny and even black-tie worthy trench coats if you are so inspired to upgrade from your classic Burberry raincoat. If you’re stepping out for a formal evening or just want to make a grand entrance this Beaded Trench Coat (Upper left, $889 at NeimanMarcus.com) is perfect. The 3/4 sleeves, tie waist and full skirt make it the perfect cover up for your best LBD. Roberto Cavalli is known for over the top detailing and this Studded wool trench coat, (Upper right. $3,195 at Net-a-Porter) is no exception. The off white wool trench is embellished with burnished metal studs and features a tie waist, oversized lapels and slit side pockets.

Entrench Yourself in Colorful Spring Trenchcoats

Trenchcoat

I've sung the praises of the trench coat before, and each spring I realize how much I love them. The weather is sunny, but just cold enough that a simple cardigan or blazer won't do. That's the perfect time to trot out a trench coat. And with the myriad of styles, you can have one that suits every occasion or you can have options for different moods and outfits. Try out looks that are long, cropped, long-sleeved, 3/4-sleeved, ones with belts, ones with buttons – and the list could go on. One of my favorite bits about spring trenches is that they can be bright and colorful.

Green is my favorite color, so of course this is my first choice. But the style is amazing, too, if you'd prefer to have it in a more versatile black and white.

I like this particular pink because it really pops, but a pastel will do nicely too, and add a more demure, feminine touch to an outfit.

Same goes for this great yellow option – which also comes in black and white. It's a bit bright, but not obnoxiously so. And yellow is such a great color for spring!
